Answer:

x = - 5, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercepts let y = 0, that is

x² + 2x - 15 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 2)

The factors are + 5 and - 3, since

5 × - 3 = - 15 and 5 - 3 = + 2, hence

(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

x- intercepts at (- 5, 0) and (3, 0)

Evaluate using integration by parts

Rather than carrying out IBP several times, let's establish a more general result. Let

$I(n)=\displaystyle\int x^ne^x\,\mathrm dx$

One round of IBP, setting

$u=x^n\implies\mathrm du=nx^{n-1}\,\mathrm dx$

$\mathrm dv=e^x\,\mathrm dx\implies v=e^x$

gives

$\displaystyle I(n)=x^ne^x-n\int x^{n-1}e^x\,\mathrm dx$

$I(n)=x^ne^x-nI(n-1)$

This is called a power-reduction formula. We could try solving for $I(n)$ explicitly, but no need. $n=5$ is small enough to just expand $I(5)$ as much as we need to.

$I(5)=x^5e^x-5I(4)$

$I(5)=x^5e^x-5(x^4e^x-4I(3))=(x-5)x^4e^x+20I(3)$

$I(5)=(x-5)x^4e^x+20(x^3e^x-3I(2))=(x^2-5x+20)x^3e^x-60I(2)$

$I(5)=(x^2-5x+20)x^3e^x-60(x^2e^x-2I(1))=(x^3-5x^2+20x-60)x^2e^x+120I(1)$

$I(5)=(x^3-5x^2+20x-60)x^2e^x+120(xe^x-I(0))$

Finally,

$I(0)=\displaystyle\int e^x\,\mathrm dx=e^x+C$

so we end up with

$I(5)=(x^4-5x^3+20x^2-60x+120)xe^x-120e^x+C$

$I(5)=(x^5-5x^4+20x^3-60x^2+120x-120)e^x+C$

and the antiderivative is

$\displaystyle\int2x^5e^x\,\mathrm dx=(2x^5-10x^4+40x^3-120x^2+240x-240)e^x+C$

How do you factor the trinomial 3x^2+18x-21?

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

(3)(x+7)(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2+18x-21

Let's start by taking 3 out of the equation.

3(x^2+6x-7)

Now, when we factor, we need to find two numbers that add up to 6 and multiply to -7.

The numbers would be 7 and -1.

So the factored form of this would be:

(3)(x+7)(x-1)

An Epson HR100 printer priced at $379 is sold for $319. What was the percent price reduction?

EastWind [94]

Answer:

The percent price reduction was 15.83%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In this problem

$379 represent the 100%

using proportion

Find out what percentage represent the difference between the original price and the final price

$\frac{\$379}{100\%}=\frac{\$379-\$319}{x}\\\\x=100(60)/379\\\\x=15.83\%$
